拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

We have sought to record the changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
It is in our opinion that the property is in good overall condition for its age.
- There is a fine age crack extends from the top edge of the center panel to the Buddha’s aureole; on the reverse there appears to be an associated fine crack and some touch-ups to the top piece and to where the top piece joins the center panel.
- There is a small area of loss to one vapor near the lotus plinth of the bodhisattva on the center panel on the proper left.
- As expected, the silver decoration and metal mounts are tarnished, and there are some scattered losses to the tiny inlays, some minor dents, and some overall light surface wear.
- As expected, there is some light rubbing to the gilt and other pigments.
